What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Rumworth
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Rumworth, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

How we price non-slip bath coating
We charge the same across the UK, including Rumworth. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
FAQs for Rumworth
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Bolton.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
When to call us in Rumworth
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
